Calling all pet parents, this blog post is for you! Once of the *many* responsibilities you take on when you become a pet parent, is the tough job of keeping your house clean after all of the paw prints, hair, drool & lord know what else invades your home. It’s so worth it though, right?!
The extra challenge comes in, if you are a light-and-bright, neutrals love when it comes to home decor. I frequently get asked the question, “how do you keep your house so clean?” And the answer is…I don’t. Haha! The second answer is: Crypton Performance Fabric on all of the furniture (it’s seriously worth the investment!) and my third answer…is all of the products we are going to talk about today. The products below are all of my little secrets when it comes to making the house at least look semi-clean!
- Elevate Conquer Vacuum // The “investment” vacuum you need when it’s time to pull out the big guns while cleaning the house! It’s lightweight, picks up literally everything, has a long chord so you don’t have to plug & unplug frequently and I mean how gorgeous is it?! If you are in the market for a high-quality vacuum that will last you a very long time – this is it! Use code STEFANYBARE for 10% off!
- PURA Smart Home Fragrance Diffuser // Y’all know by now how obsessed I am with my PURA! It is truly life-changing when it comes to keeping your home & specific rooms smelling fresh and clean. I seriously have one in almost every room, haha! Best part: they are SAFE for your pets – a lot of diffusers are NOT. You can set them on schedules, increase or decrease the scent intensity, and control the nightlight all from the app on your phone. My favorite scents are Capri Volcano, Barr & Co Original, Sea Salt Grapefruit, Sunday Morning and Coconut Calm! Use code STEFBARE for 15% off!
- Nature’s Miracle Advanced Stain & Odor Eliminator // This stuff is SO good at getting stains out – but where it really shines is with getting rid of odors. A necessity for pet accidents!
- Lavender-Scented Pet Grooming Wipes // I always have these in my car to give the dogs a quick rub down with after they go to the dog park or lake! It makes the smells good and takes off any loose dirt or mud!
- MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner // This winter, we had some really bad drainage issues in our backyard and where there was mud….the dogs found it. And they brought it into the house like crazy! Rather than giving them a full bath every time, I found this little portable paw cleaner that seriously works like a charm! You just fill it with water, twirl it around and it cleans their paws gently. You’ll be amazed/disgusted at the color of the water afterwards!
- World’s Best Glass Cleaner // The name says it all! We have tons of glass windows and doors throughout our home and they are constantly covered in paw and nose prints. I’ve learned that it’s just something that you can’t really control & have to be okay with as a pet parent, but when I do get around to cleaning the windows this stuff takes the cake. No streaks, it smells good, and the can is huge!
- Pet Hair Remover Roller // Although our doodles don’t shed much, I have friends with dogs who do shed like crazy and they swear by this little tool! It’s great for cleaning up dog hair off of furniture and anything covered in fabric.
- Fabric Cleaning Spray // Okay this cleaner is magic for tough or stubborn stains. I’m convinced it can get dirt, mud or lord knows what else your dog brings in the house out of anything!
- Reversible Furniture Protector Blanket // This is a great option if your pet just doesn’t seem to listen to the “no pets on the furniture” rule! Or, it’s a great option for the winter months or rainy days when they have wet paws. They have a great selection of neutral colors available.
- BISSELL Iconpet Cordless Vacuum // if cordless is more your style when it comes to vacuums – this is your match! This one picks up just about everything, is super lightweight & has a pretty decent battery life. I love that it also has a small handheld built-in vacuum to use for hard to reach places.
